How to find Claude Code plugins with AI search

To find a Claude Code plugin with AI search, describe the job in one sentence, read the matches for type, creator, stars and contents, open the listing that fits, and copy its install command. You do not need to know a plugin name to start.

What are the steps?

Four steps, from a sentence to an install command.

  1. 1

    Describe the job

    Open AI search and write what you want done, or what you are building. "I want to create an iOS app, what plugins should I use?" works. So does "review pull requests before I merge".

  2. 2

    Read the matches

    Each match is a listing card with its type (plugin, skill, MCP server and so on), its creator, its stars and what it includes. The best fit comes first.

  3. 3

    Open the listing

    Select a card to open its page. The page says what the listing does and what it contains.

  4. 4

    Install it

    Copy the install command from the listing page and run it in Claude Code.

How do I write a good ask?

Say the job, then add what you know about your setup.

  • Name the job, not the plugin

    "Review pull requests before I merge" finds more than a guess at a name.

  • Add your stack when it matters

    "Write tests first for my TypeScript API" tells the search the language and the practice.

  • Say what it should connect to

    "Connect Claude Code to my Postgres database" points at MCP servers and plugins that do that.

  • Reword and ask again

    The same job in other words can surface different listings. Change one thing at a time.

How do I check a result before installing?

Four things on the card and the listing tell you most of it.

  • The type

    A skill, an MCP server and a hook behave differently. The card names which one you are looking at.

  • The creator

    A name you recognise, or a profile with other listings, tells you who maintains it.

  • The stars

    Stars show how many people saved the repository. A very low count is a reason to read more closely.

  • What it includes

    Hooks and MCP servers run code or reach outside services. Read what a listing includes before you install it.

What a Claude Code plugin is explains the bundle you are reading. After you install one, skill routing is how its skills get picked for each prompt.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to know a plugin by name?

No. Describe what you want done and AI search returns listings that fit the job, whatever they are called.

Does AI search install anything for me?

No. It finds listings. You open the one you want, read it and copy the install command yourself.

What if the matches miss?

Reword the ask with the stack or the outcome you want and search again. Keyword search on the listings page is the other way in.
